Default Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.

Geo's post was one of sarcasm aimed at those that refuse to see any point of view other than their own (such as Rex). People that don't think as they do can be labeled as idiots and such. But those same people can't label the first group as idiots because there is no possibility of the first group being in the wrong. They are absolutely right, so any criticism of them must be wrong. At least, that is the attitude some people here and many people elsewhere have displayed.
Since we are getting personal . . . it seems you label everything you don't agree with as "propaganda". Also I don't understand how you consistantly deny your a Republican even though every position I've read from you is consistant with a Republican position; are you being Devil's Advocate?

Anyway -

The huge massive industrial complex for WMD turns out not to be the dreaded "Winebagos of Death" after all but actually "the college students of death" who take the stuff home in their back packs at night and hide them in their refrigerator. Hmm. . . the cynical me thinks . . . I've probably produced more biological agents in MY refrigerator.

A majority of the "duped" believe that Iraq was responsible for 9/11 and that's the reason we attacked. The cynical me points to the fact that the Bush administration had been looking for an excuse to attack even before Bush was elected or that Al Qaeda hated Saddam as much as the U.S. No matter -that's not relevant.

It's ironic that the only reason for the war - it turns out - has been nation building. The cynical me thinks why were the Republicans so opposed to it almost 2 years ago?

Some people consistantly deny the war is about oil - forgetting 1000 of years of history where resources are what wars have always been about.

Finally while we've spent our tax dollars giving Iraq to Shiite extremists - NK all of a sudden has Nuclear Bombs and is threatening to use them. What the #@$@ are we doing in Iraq!!!?

Fyron - I am sorry that I refuse to believe the propaganda that you seem to like to get spoon fed to you by Shrub.

In the light of all this absurdity is it any wonder I haven't been swayed.

EDIT: BTW my wife wonders why I post as well.
